Mineralization rates of polyesters in aerobic tests decreased as PHAs > PCL > PLA.
“The mineralization of polyesters has been evaluated using soil (i.e.compost) or diluting the inoculum in growing medium enriched with minerals and the rates decreased as follows: PHAs > PCL > PLA.[481][482][483][484]”

“For PCL, reported biodegradation ranged from 80% in 50 days at 55 °C [87] to neglectable values [90,111], in some cases showing only changes in color [106]; the degradation increased when eggshell was used to produce a biocomposite [111].”

“The formulation of composites by introducing a filler in a PCL matrix can modify the degradation properties of the base material, as the presence of the filler may vary the crystallinity of the matrix [17] and this parameter has a great influence on the degradation mechanism of the material [17,18].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
